The Louisiana Office of the Attorney General handled the case after 4th District Attorney Jerry Jones recused himself.

Laura Gerdes Colligan, a public information representative for the Office of the Attorney General, said Emory received a five-year suspended sentence and five years of active probation. The court also ordered him to pay restitution to the victim.

“The amount will be determined by the court after a recommendation has been submitted by his probation officer,” Colligan said.

During a gathering at attorney Arthur Stewart’s home in February on Roselawn Avenue, Emory got into an argument with his former girlfriend. Stewart reportedly asked him to leave. Once outside the house, the victim said he was attacked by Emory and stabbed in the lower leg.
